DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful piece of Navajo artistry! This piece of Native American jewelry is overlay hand crafted out of authentic sterling silver. Overlay is a process that utilizes at least two layers of sterling silver. One layer forms the foundation, while the second layer is used to design the individual intricate overlay. In this pendant, the second layer forms a gorgeous and polished bear design. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
In Native American beliefs, the bear symbolizes physical strength, leadership, and is known as the "first helper".
